Rotterdam, The Netherlands
A large-scale project of superlatives.
The A15 is the main connection road between the harbour of Rotterdam, the biggest European harbour, and the European back country.
Due to the expansion of the harbour in Rotterdam (Europoort – Maasvlakte 2) the approx. 40 km of the feeder motorway A15 had to be repaired, widened and partly newly built.
The project was handled in form of a PPP project with a contract duration of 25 years.
The project included
- the widening and maintenance of a 40 km section of the A15 motorway,
- the construction of the new Botlek bridge (lifting bridge),
- the reconstruction of the Botlek tunnel,
- the reconstruction of approx. 87 associated structures and
- the construction of approx. 44 new structures.
